That little bearded pirate with the big ears in the background – who Alex turned his back to – I would have loved it if Alex would have landed on top of him instead. However, that would be unworthy of a king, now wouldn’t it…

Where’s Paddington? He’d probably bring the ship down.
Still loving the gashes in the armor.
Loving the shadow work in the for- and background.
The guy on the right seems to notice Alex, and then look back at the pirate captain, looking for a response.

not sure about Alex’s strategy of dropping right into the middle of enemies though…. as many people pointed out, turning your back on someone with a hooked hand is probably not the best idea. And I hope there’s a good explanation for why he was late (ie. did him + Paddington set up a good trap? Or got rid of patrolling pirates?)! Or was he just hovering around for the sole purpose of making a dramatic appearance? =3
